The Pink Door

I had guests this past weekend, so we went to The Pink Door Saturday night for dinner. It was the third time I've had dinner there....more than any other place here so far! It's just so....pink! Seriously, the food is great, the wait staff very, very friendly, but the ambiance is key. First off, if you don't know where you're going, you'll never find it. It's located in Post Alley (close to Pike Place Market, but it is indeed an alley).
There's no sign. But the door is pink. You enter from the alley and go down a flight of stairs to the main dining room which has low lights, and trapeze looking gadgets hanging from the ceiling here and there. That's because on Sunday and Monday nights (I just learned) they have actual trapeze artists swinging around in there above the diners! Wow!
The bar, like the dining room is dimly lit with a pink hue to the lighting. There is a small stage where they have live music most nights - usually singer/songwriter types, jazz or blues. It's too cold yet, but they have a really nice outdoor deck with a fabulous view of Elliott Bay.
I had lamb medallions this time - tender and moist, they were perfect. Laurie thoroughly enjoyed the fish special, and Christy had a pasta dish with truffle oil and the most delicious mushrooms! The cocktails were yummy, and our server was right on all the time.
I like this place. It's funky, unpretentious and the food is good! And it's pink!
